What does the change to a teachers
college mean to every student taking
work here? What does it bring into
our courses of study which we have
not already had? What will be the
rewards which will come to those who
take away from here their Bachelor
of Science degree?
This is the first of three articles in
which Normal Tiinos will attempt to answer the spirit of those questions. This
."irticle will concern itself with the fouryear course for prospective Junior High
School teachers, reserving for later issues the elementary grades. It will not
attempt to predict what rewards may
come in additional s.alaries, bettor ijositions, securer knowledge of how and
what to teach when face to face writli a
class. I t will answer the question whioh
many students are now asking themselves and everyone else: What training can I get that I cannot get in a twoyear course?
This article is based on the report to
the Board of Normal School Principals
of their committee on curricular revision. This report will be closely followed. The committee may add a few
electives not mentioned in this report,
b u t it is unlikely to make any great
changes in those already promised.
CONTROLLED ELECTIVES
Students who select the Junior High
School as their fleld of work will find
t h a t one-third of their tot.al course is
elective.
This makes it possible to
specialize in those subjects for which
one feels the greatest aliinity, a greater
specialization tlian is now possible. Yet
this matter of election steers clear of
random selection of courses and other
dangers of wild electing. The Junior
High School student here will elect his
subjects for special training; but tlie
training which ho will then receive has
been carefully mapped out iu ever.y fleld,
to produce efiicient teachers of siiecial
subjects. Only four hours altogethei'
are open to absolutely nncoiifndled election.
Every Junior High School student will
be able to major in two subjects, and to
earn a certiflcate which will make him
eligible to feacli those subjects iu any
public scliool. .Vise, by managing his
selections, it seems fo be possible for
those students who wish to do so to add
a third major subject.

meinbers of the Glee Club were .all
dressed in costumes of light blues, white,

opened iiresenfed a ver.v beautiful picture. Throughout the course of their
Cliristmns cantata traditional Christmas
carols were sung. Ainoug these were
"Bach's Carole," "Hark the Herald

and ".Vlsatiau."

one by one, those who wished to sec the
Christ Child, The first one who came
was a man with a bag of grain. He had
seen the star in the east and had come
fo see the Christ Child, but ho had nothing fo offer, no gift to make, and so he
could not see the Child. Next tho Wanderer, too, was unwilling to give up anything he had for tho Child.
A Pretty Little Girl was tho next to
meet the Angel. She carried a beautiful basket of tlowers, bnt she vfas not
willing to part with them. The last person was a poor little boy with a lamb.
He had nothing to give but t h e lamb.
He dearly loved it but was willing to
part with it—and so he was t h e one

Mr. Ulmer Tells About

The prelude at least of Mr. and Mrs.
Ulmer's Western trip was given to the
Naturalist Club, December 13. Mr. Ulmer threw on the screen postal card
views which he had collected throughout his trip. These views were accompanied by explanations. The Naturalist
Club enjoyed them immensely, and are
looking forward to seeing the slides
taken from Mr. Ulmer's own photographs of his trip. Mr. Ulmer said that

"Giddap t h e r e ! Go long there! W h o a ! "
The Jolly Jester from Healthlaud was
here! In all the glory of his red .and

middle .aisle of the auditorium on his
faithful old Dobbin, on Friday night,
December 1.
After giving Dobbin his oats, the
.lolly Jester talked and sang and played
for us Normal School folks. He brought
Minnie Spinach, Charlie Carrot, P a t t y
Potato, Mr. Coffee Pot, and several others with him, and had them talk to us.
He had his little boy, Harry, with him
also, and asked him a few questions
about his school. The answers H a r r y
gave just about brought down tho

some marks mean too much. That may
sound like a foolish statement and yet,
isn't it true that if our marks are sent

all plus and minus signs, some of ns

credit they deserve?
That is especially noticeable when

there is only a very sniall percentage

Yet the state receives these marks as 1

point of difference in the marks.

any noticeable defects are being attended to .at this time also. Later, special
atfentiou will be given to teeth, tonsils,

of groat value has been introduced this

This makes possible immediate expert examination in all suspicious cases, fo determine the nature of

Windows Open in Arctic Weather
The trenches are disappearing from
the campus. Tho long line of triplicate
pipes in their concrete runways has
gone out of sight, after all joints have
been welded and the pipes coated to prevent loss of heat. The concrete blocks
which have filled the training school
front yard have been set into place to
roof over the runways, and workmen are
now restoring the earth which was removed in tho fall.
The results have been immedhitely
noticeable. The dormitories have never
been underheatod, except two days this
winter when the iiipos were being coupled up. Now, far from au uudorsuppl,V, the amount of heat coming into the
building is such that even in the subzero weatlier of the week before Christmas windows had to be opened from
time to time for ventilation.
To heat such a huge pile of buildings
as those t h a t make up this school, from
a centra! plant situated at such a distance from the school, is no small problem. To be able to furnish so much heat
that sub-zero weather is defeated is
something for us to feel rather proud
over.
.\nother of the three big boilers still
lias to be installed in the heating plant,
which will furnish an additional amount
of reserve heat for all occasions; then
the big ;iud costly undertaking will be
flnished.

Male Serenaders Wake Dorm
la the hours just before midnight on
tho last night before the Christmas vacation, twenty of the east dorm boys
went out carolling.
Hobba lent his
heavy bass. Larkin was tliere with his
hard-working tenor. The Dean of Men
lent the authority of his inches, in case
any one along the lino of march sliould
prove less pleased than necessary. The
rest filled in on whatever part their
voices happened to fancy at the moment.
Tho harmony that resulted was surprisingly good.
President Armstrong's, Mr. McDougall's, Mr. Ulmer's, and Mr. Trembath's
families were among those serenaded,

"Banana Oil" Has Lost

Many Sore Throats After
Vacation
If it hadn't been for the comforting
thought tliat Christmas vacation would
soon be here, the school never could
h.ave stood the shock of the sore-throat
epidemic which followed fhe Thanksgiving vacation.
The infirmary became popular over
iiiglif, putting the Arbor and Saturday
night dance ill fhe shade. Mrs. Cresswell was complctel.v swamped with
croak.y, tearful invalids, but after she
had administered tho allotincnt of white
pills they came away with a happier expression. Now beds and a special nurse
were added, aud both soon made use
of, so that it was rumored that the next
student stricken would have fo hang on
a hook.
A whisper caused a general stir. It
was said that if an.y more came down
with sore throats, the school would bo
closed and every one sent home. This
had a noticeable effect. Many who hadn't thought of being ill, suddenly developed a terrible sore throat. They received their share of white pills—but
that's .all!
Tho disease ran its course rapidly.
Every one improved. However, it wasn't
so much a joke as we tr.y to make it.

The Sweet Feeling of Sorority
Initiation
If there is ever a time when j'OU feel
so meek and uunecessarj', it is during
\-oiir initiation into a sorority. And if
there is ever a time when j'oii see the
other sides of people, it is then. It is
the time when shims, harsh words, lashing tongues, lilack looks, and general
torment reigii supreme.
But my room-mate and I had loads
of fun over it. Partners in iniserj', we
used to sit down on the bed together
and tell about this girl being simply
awful, another smart, another a terrible
tyrant, aud another just lovely.
After pitying ourselves for a while,
the funny part of the whole thing would
strike us. It tickled us to think that
when an order was given we iiiwardl.y
rebelled but outwardly smilingl.v gave
assent and trotted off to be everj'bodj''s
lackey in general. We wonld wonder
why we aimed so hard to please. Then
we would pretend that we were squelching some poor little Junior.
When I would come iu from class
Pegg,y would greet me with, "Hello,
room-mate."
DraAving myself up to look highlj' superior and important, we would replj'
h.aughtily, "Have you not forgotten
something. Miss Smith?"
Instaiitlj' she would rise to her feet,
and, meek as Moses, would saj-, "Good
afternoon. Miss Brown."
"All r i g h t ; j'ou niaj' sit."
Then wo giggled.
Probablj' Peggj' would take a iiofion
that she needed a drink and would make
her wants known bj'—"What nice little

We eould appreciate that, but when it
came to darning stockings that were so
full of holes that there was no plaee
fo hang the thread to, to darn them, it
was altogether a dift'erent matter. The
only consolation that wo could get out
of this was that, should we ever be
asked to join a Ladies' Aid Soeiety, we
would know how to act at the meetings.
As to cleaning up rooms that were littered up for our benefit, it was sweet
to think that should be ever—at some
time—decide to turn from the noble
profession, we would at least make good
housekeepers.

"Oh Boy"

Now You Laugh

"Oh, boj', I'm going to be married!"
These were the words of .a recent bride
as she began the march to the altar,
whore waited the bridegroom.
Thej' must have been due to nervous
strain. Most people when the,y are under nervous tension are apt to say or do
things of which thej' are ashamed afterwards. We lost self-control somehow
or other when our emotions are raised
to a high pitch.
"Oh, boj', I'm going to be married!"
There was a period of giggling. One of
the .attendants had to tell the damsel to
be more serious.
It is .said that in our subsconscious
mind we reallj' betraj' ourselves, and
show our feelings and re.al thoughts.
If that is true then the bride who
exclaimed, "Oh, boj', I'm going to be
married!" gave evidence of her state of
mind. To her marriage was just a lot
of fun. instead of a great adventure.
"Oh, boy."
Everj' word the preacher said went
over her head. Neither bride nor bridegroom listened to what w.as being told
them. All they knew was t h a t thej' were
being married.
The following conversation is heard

"What did she marrj' him for?"
"Well, if she doesn't like him she can
alwaj's get a divorce."
"Easj- come and oasj' go."

"What's j'our fellow doing?"
"Not iiiiicli, but villi should see him
dance I"
"Where j'ou goin' to live."
"ilother's, of course.''
"Cioiu' fo work ?"
"Sure thing, ho doesn't make much."
"Oh, boj', I'm going to be married."
It's great fun getting married, to be
sure. Never mind the respoiisibilit.y,
never care for fhe morrow.
If we don't hit it off, there's alwaj's
fhe judge.
"Good morning, Judge. We got married, and now we w.ant it off again."
Gre.at fun, isn't it? Life is too much
jazzed. There is too much Charleston
about everj'thing. Life has become too
oasj' all along the line.
Todaj' one gal; todaj' one fellah; tomorrow another gal; tomorrow another
fellah. That's how it goes.
"Oh, boy, ain't it g r a n d ? "
Lot the old people worrj'.
"Oh, boj', I'm going to be married!"

Woods Fever
Autumn is a rare season. It is the time
when late crops begin to mellow and
need their final bit of attention. But
this is not all. It is the real pleasure
season for all sportsmen.
What is it that attracts that suntanned farmer's eye .as he leans over the
grindstone in the shed to edge tho axe
a.gainst cutting the morning's kindling?
It may be the crispness i n the still air
that makes him glance over his shoulder at a big bunch of chains suspending
from a long peg in the wall. What is it?
You are right! It's the bunch of traps
he nsed on last winter's line. Yes, it
is time to get them down from the peg
and give them an inspection before the
season starts. It is time to make some
new stretching boards—a big bunch for
niuskrats and skunks, some big long
ones for that otter or two or three that
will surely range by on his travels.
Y'es, about the time t h a t last pumpkin is in the shed that bunch of tr.aps
will need attention.
Before long the woodsman will hear
the dry rustle of dead leaves under his
feet as he scuffles along t h e old logging
road. He smells that unmistakable fall
smell of withered graso and leaves.
Overhead is the lead-gray streak of
clouds t h a t betokens Autumn.
Tho
mornings are pretty snappy and the
nights make the old mackinaw welcome.

It is fall, and now the bucks will begin to run, and you will think of the
morning when it is damp and your cautious feet won't make a sound among
the wet leaves. Take down that rifle
and run through a couple of rags to get
the grease out; then be sure you get the
license in time. Bill or Jim m.ay drop
in tomorrow with full shell-belts, rifles
under arm, and that long anticipated
invitation to "come on aud let's get
one."
This is the real spirit of sportsmanship. All is ready for a big season. The
woods become inhabited with sportsmen
who are eagerly awaiting the flrst of
December.
The flrst is here. The thunder of
rifles rings through the timbers. The
snap of brush beneath the hunter's feet,
and a pheasant drumming here and there
fill the woods with Autumn's music. The

ALUMNI NOTES
DR. O. H. ROSSER, 1883, DIES
Dr. O. H. Bosser, physician and surgeon, died at his Eenovo homo ou the afternoon of J a n u a r y 2, of pneumonia, after an illness of one week. Thus suddenly ended his successful life after
thirty-five years of service to Renovo.
Dr. Rosscr graduated from this Normal School in J u n e , 1883. I n June, 1887,
he began the study of medicine with Dr.
W. J . Shoemaker here, and iu April,
1890, he received his degree from the
Medical and Surgical College of Philadelphia. From that time he practised
his profession in Eenovo until this short
illness ended his useful career.
Dorothy Lynds, 1926, has been elected
by the school board of South Renovo to
succeed Bernice Day, 1925.

.Vlice was married by the Hev. J. A.
Eudisell in Bethany Lutheran Church,
Altoona, ou December 24, to Mr. D. C.
Miller, a graduate of State College and
a bond salesman in Binghampton for
Clarence Hudson and Conipany. Her
maid-of-honor was her "twin sister"
throughout her course here, Anna Mae
Landis, 1924. Mr. Normal Miller, brother of the bridegroom, was his best man.
Immediately following the ceremony,
Mr. and Mrs. Miller left for Xew York
City.
"Ted" Schreiber, 1924, is seeing the
country. Last year he taught in Hurley,
New Mexico, from which he wrote several letters full of local color to his
friends here. This year Ted has moved
on to Los Angeles, California. His street
address is 422 S. Grand Street, where
he is willing to read all the letters his
old acquaintances may feel moved to
send him.

was six feet tall, and stood there so unconcerned and yet so important and
business-like.
Judging from appearances, at that moment he looked like a
man who had just returned from a trip
of perhaps two or three months in a
wan:; airl sultry climate: His skin was
tanned from tho life of the great outdoors aud his physique was perfect. The
fine black hair showed from under his
soft felt business hat, a n d his clear gray
eyes wandered as though looking for
some one. That great out-thrust chin
showed great determination, while the
dark business suit and great chinchilla
coat only added to his attractiveness
and made him more conspicuous to the
flapper or man-hunter. I n other words,
he was the "ideal" man we all admire
and desire to have on our social list,
and the typo any one would be glad to
make acquaintance with.
